Great pic!  I am still bitter I was in Chicago, when we finally got the shiny orange orb in the sky to appear.

Just a cell phone pic, but the weather here in FL has been amazing for riding! :)
I don't know how you guys in cold weather climates do it, I couldn't.



I like cool weather for riding the bike when I like protection as leather jacket, leather trousers with jeans under and integral helmet. It will be a little bit too hot at 25C and more that require +100mph to cool down :)
I remember the first trips in Aprils back in the days when it could be snow in the air and a little bit too cold roads. +10C and over is fine.

BUT, I envy your weather anyway! I do not like the too dark period November to February we have here.

Technically not "out on the road" but I promise it was mere moments before this shot was taken...besides, I hope you guys will cut me some slack after what has been endured this winter... ;D

I really like this long, curvie entrance ramp on to the interstate. It lets me tach the K6 on up a little bit ;D Can still see some of the fallen trees from the ice storm several weeks ago. I like this bike even more with the 341's on it ;)

last week me and two buddies rode down to Amelia Island, FL from Savannah. wonderful weather and goo riding. we stopped about halfway after Darien, GA and did a little offroading on some trails. his triumph was perfect for it but Yolanda struggled a bit.....not to mention the other guys HD 883.....now seeing that offroad was funny!





made it down to Amelia Island and ate at a place right ON the beach. it was 77 and sunny!



on the way back outside of Riceboro, GA we stopped at "the smallest church in america". it was a great trip, and because I have a borrowed set of carbs on Yolanda that work properly, I was getting a solid 45mpg!
